Eminem Dethrones Taylor Swift From Top Of The “Billboard” Chart

After knocking “The Tortured Poets Department” by Taylor Swift off the top spot for the week of July 21, 2024, Eminem has earned the number-one spot on the “Billboard” chart.

Following the release of his brand-new album “The Death of Slim Shady” (Coup De Grace), the 51-year-old Eminem, better known by his stage name Marshall Mathers, occupied the top spot.

Since Taylor Swift released the record in April 2024, it had dominated the charts.

“The Tortured Poets Department” (TTPD) remained at the top of the chart after Taylor released her 11th album. This prevented Billie Eilish, Zach Bryan, and other artists from claiming the top spot despite the considerable hype surrounding their records.

After a four-year break following the release of “Music to Be Murdered By” in 2020, Eminem’s 12th album has earned him his 11th #1 album.

Eminem has released four albums that have reached number one since his sophomore effort, “The Marshall Mathers LP.” His most recent albums have received mixed reviews, but his devoted fans have remained supportive of his music.

Several fans have criticized Taylor Swift for releasing multiple album versions since the singer dropped TTPD.

She released marginally various renditions of her new album, which provoked a spike in sales among committed Swifties. Other artists have been prevented from reaching the top of the Billboard charts by the new albums.

Taylor Swift is the second artist on the Billboard charts with the most weeks at number one. Stevie Wonder, with his landmark album Songs in the ‘Key of Life,’ is the only artist to ever reach 13 weeks at the top.
